Dust Bag: Is anyone having a problem with the dust going into the belly of the vac instead of through the rubber neck into the dust bag as it should?

My answer is 2 years late, but no, the bag cavity is spotless when I change the bag. The Miele bag captures all the dirt.

No issues with mine.....have a TV, & DVD Player and knick knacks on it and have moved it many times to vacuum, etc. All good, loved it's!

As with most vacuums, it exhausts out the back, but because the hepatitis bag is cloth and passes through a filter there isn't the strong blow out you see from other vacuums. I have 2 dogs and 4 cats so you can imagine the fur. I don't have any problem with it blowing around like tumble weeds.

You can do one of 2 things. Hit Manual Seal (with the bag in the vacuum area) and it will suck for a second or so then seal. Or you can hit the start button and then hit the manual seal to stop the vacuum process. Hope this works, I surely like mine.

The bag serves as the filter. Another thing to consider. The part of the canister that holds the bag is attached by a twisting motion on the vac. I have had a lot of problems with the canister simply popping open while using the vac. It is a real annoyance. The vac has plenty of power, but with the canister constantly popping apart while in use, I find it practically useless.

I haven't had that problem. My only suggestion is to make sure there is plenty of suction, the bag is clean when you start and make sure the unit sinks all the way to the bottom and is level.

I think this is pretty normal, but I use a large two stage vacuum instead of a shop vac. The hood does get clogged also. Way better than my original Craftsman, which had no dust collection system at all. Because chips do come out the front, wear googles if you don't already. It still is a great planer for the price!

I am assuming when you say it is loosing power you mean it is loosing its suction. I have not had that issue and the vacuum bag needs changing only when full. That depends upon the type of dirt or dust yiou are picking up and its quantity.Look in the manual for the description of ther small bag indicator on the vacuum.

I have two dogs and a cat, so I check my bag frequently because of the volume of pet hair in the house. I would think, however, that when the bag is getting full, the vacuum will not pick up particles as efficiently. You might notice deminished suction, I would think.

I haven' had a problem at all. I do make sure there are any larger chunks of things on the floor though. A piece of glass might flip around in the beater bar and scratch the wood. That's the case with any vacuum I suppose. I've been really happy with it. Only complaint is that the cord gets in the way.

This is an inherent problem since mine does the same thing. I usually seal it twice. Once with the vacuum suction on then immediately with just the seal on like you are making a bag this works most of the time, but not 100% of the time.

I have not experienced that problem. The sweeper has been performing above expectations. The suction is amazing, it doesn't miss much.

I have used mine for 2 years and have never experienced that problem. Have you checked to make sure the cloth filter doesn't need cleaning? I love mine, I never have to vac my pool. It was well worth the money. I would recommend this rover to anyone. I'm a widow, so it's just me to keep my pool clean. I have 4 grandkids that help mess it up...lol lol

I am allergic to dust mites and more and I'm still using the bag that came with the Eureka and have not experienced any issues. I also purchased a package of 9 Envirocaire Microfiltration vacuum bags "Eureka Allergy Micro Lined Vacuum F&G; Bags" as purchased on Amazon at the same time to use which should be even better. (I use the Envirocaire cloth HEPA bags in my older canister vac and they are good quality brand).

Yes you are right. I also received some nasty jolts. This is one of the reasons I switched back to the filter canister. I do know that Bausch does make an anti-static 16 ft dust hose for the shop vac. It's not cheep but hopefully not shocking. I have not tried it yet. Good luck. Jeff

You have to push the seal button if you don't want it to vacuum first. I am not sure why you are having problems with yours not recognizing that a bag is there since I have only had that problem with mine one time and that was because I had the bag curling up. Try putting the bag so that it curves down towards the floor. If that doesn't work then I would contact the manufacturer and have them replace it.
